Ladle Fellowship Sundays

AORN of San Diego County is thrilled to announce our new monthly volunteer opportunity, the Ladle Fellowship, hosted at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown San Diego.

Starting in February, on the second Sunday of every month, we'll be uniting as a compassionate team to serve hot meals and distribute clothing to those in need. This is an incredible way for us to give back to our community and make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Together, we can spread warmth, nourishment, and hope. Join us in making a difference! See our calendar for dates and sign up info.
